Had an incredible meal here tonight! Our server, Rosa, was so friendly and attentive and gave great recommendations. The food was so fresh and authentic, I definitely recommend the carbonara and the homemade bread! The restaurant has a rustic charm and the patio on the river is perfect for a summer night. They even grow their own veggies and herbs right on the patio. Will be back for sure!

Great atmosphere with a magnificent selection of what Italian cuisine has to offer. A welcome change from what Canada has to offer culinarily. plus a great conversation with the owner and chef, who had quite a few stories to tell.
